02.02.2012 Yarn Expo: China’s only upstream yarns and fibre trade event scheduled to take place from 29 – 31 March 2012

• China’s only upstream yarns and fibre trade event scheduled to take place from 29 – 31 March 2012
• China turns to sustainable and innovative yarn and fibre materials
  

China's recent 12th five year plan focuses on the sustainable development and standardisation of renewable products derived from stem fibres, plants and animal protein as well as multi fibre blends by 2015. In light of this new direction, many textile mills in China are expected to double their production capacities, resulting in a growing demand for raw yarn and fibre materials. Yarn Expo China is the region’s only specialised upstream yarns and fibre business platform that caters to this emergent market and will take place from 29 – 31 March 2012 at the China World Trade Centre.

The fair will focus on a range of products with natural and blended yarns at the forefront of buyer interest. According to visitor feedback taken in 2011, natural fibres and yarns including cotton, wool, flax/ramie are the most popular sourced items. Demand for regenerated and synthetic man-made fibres and yarns; specialty products; elastic, fancy and blended yarns as well as computer-related services are also on the rise.

China turns to sustainable and innovative yarn and fibre materials
According to national statistics, regenerated fibres are in urgent need of development and application on the mainland including:
·    More than 55 billion tons of regenerated cellulose fibres     (bamboo and straw)
·    10 billion tons of regenerated polysaccharide fibres (crustaceans and marine shells)
·    13 – 15 billion tons of seaweed fibre resources
·    500 billions ton of protein fibre resources

Demand for multi-fibre blends that combine cotton and wool are also increasing as production rates are lower and they meet various requirements for product grades and specifications by different industry clients. In all, over the next five years, China’s yarn industry goals have become more environmentally-friendly and socially responsible.

Yarn Expo is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, the Sub-Council of Textile Industry – CCPIT, China Cotton Textile Association, China Wool Textile Association, China Chemical Fibres Association, China Bast & Leaf Fibres Textiles Association, and China Textile Information Centre.
